AI Technical Summary
During the commissioning of electric gate valves, if operators fail to stop the electric actuator in a timely manner, the valve may overtravel, potentially causing damage to critical components.
An auxiliary tool for debugging an electric gate valve is provided, including a position monitoring component, an alarm, and a control box. By monitoring the position of the travel stop in real time, the tool outputs position information and issues an alarm when the valve reaches a preset position, automatically controlling the electric actuator to stop operating.
This effectively avoids valve overtravel caused by untimely response or misjudgment by operators, improving the safety, reliability and efficiency of commissioning, and reducing the risk of human error.
